There are no forests on earth

Given the total lack of even one silicon lifeform, it's a tough sell. Much less is it possible that fossils are the dead bodies of silicon creatures from "the silicon era". And he's totally lying to you about basalt column formation.

Out of the box requires knowing something about the box. This guy is either having you on or is a doofus.

I'll watch the video soon to get a better grasp on what exactly he means. Though instantly it came to my mind that masses of carbon sit underneath all this silica, whether that be coal or oil.

Too much sound evidence surrounding geography makes this theory more and more unbelievable the more I think about it... I'll go give it a watch.

Just watched it and it does take some imagination, and I actually applaud him for taking that imagination and putting a theory behind it, that does in honesty make you think.

It's quite incredible really why the examples do look the same as stumps, and if true it would in a way give a nice backdrop to why reptiles grew so large to create the Dinasours.

We live on the earth today and everything is in proportion, humans and animals of today are in proportion to nature, so then the Dinasours could in theory have been living in a time where they also lived during a time of proportion, and I would be interested to see an example where a human size ratio to our tallest tree's, compared to the dinasours height ratio to these tree's and see if there any relationship.

Science can give us an explanation which disproves his theory, but then on the other hand another scientist could give us a theory and explanation that backs up his theory, so I'm looking at this as an interesting idea, and thats why I come to ATS to see this sort of thing, which you wouldnt get through MSTV.

Well done to the chap

And just standing back and looking at it, there are other huge reasons why a silicon biochemistry doesn't work on Earth or likely anywhere.

Silicon bonds aren't as strong as carbon. And while CO2 is a gas that easily dissolves in water, the oxide of Silicon is quartz.

That was very intriguing! I watched the whole video posted in another thread by MrBlaq that Kandinsky closed and linked it here. MrBlaq's thread's title is Fascinating Video of Ancient history caught my eye and is in the Ancient & Lost Civs forum. Wow! Talk about a different perspective!

It's like a bizarre children's story or an episode straight out of the Twilight Zone for adults... please watch the whole video and you'll get why there are no forests on earth.

On a similar note I just came across this story in the ancient vedic literature The Bhagavata Purana (I'm not sure) that the whole earth was once inundated by vegetation so the god or gods burnt them all to start all over again.

Thank you to Mr Blaq and you for sharing the vid.

It's good to see people with the courage to research
the wonders of our world without relying on the opinions
of the professional elite class.

Yes, it's definitely a different perspective. If I'm not
mistaken the original poster of the Youtube video
is Russian by the name of Людин Рɣси.
He gives credit to two other Russians for introducing
this teaching named "Asgard" and "WakeUpHumans"

But the video you refer to was redone with English
voiceover making the concepts a lot easier to
understand.

They definitely make a compelling case to consider
outside the box of conventional scientism. The
journey of discovery is truly exciting for those
willing to examine a different frame of
reference.

Other YouTube videos are sprouting up like mushrooms as reactions to the original vid, there's a 2 hour roundtable discussion, a 2 part series of "There are No Forests on Flat Earth Decoded" and many more... guess I'll make a bit of research on my own. Thanks again.

Is there a geologist on board?

Your welcome.

Concerning Geologist I'll just post a quote. Not sure if this
quote is true but it definitely agrees with my personal
philosophy concerning enlightenment.

"Believe nothing. No matter where you read it, Or who said it,
Even if I have said it, Unless it agrees with your own reason
and your own common sense.” - Buddha

Thankfully no scientist is necessary to understand and learn
truth, especially if discovery invalidates past scientific
based knowledge.

Just remember that your brain has the same capacity to
learn and understand as does a man with degrees.

Devils Tower is about 40.5 million years old. If the supposed tree was that long ago, could it not have petrified into its current state over that time?

a reply to: AbesOldHat

Of course, it could have.

However, petrified wood isn't the same as basalt. Nor was there ever a tree the size of the Devils Tower, much less one that would leave a stump like that. If ever you visit it, if you haven't, you'll agree. It's huge.

Devil's Tower

No legend that I've ever heard, or read about, ever implies the Devil's Tower was ever anything but a big ass stack of rock.

Interesting that these great trees were written about in the Book
of Enoch. (Prior to the great flood)

ENOCH 32:3
And I came to the Garden of Righteousness. I saw far
beyond those trees more trees and they were NUMEROUS
and LARGE. There were two trees there, VERY LARGE,
beautiful, glorious, and magnificent. The tree of
knowledge, whose holy fruit they ate and acquired
great wisdom.

a reply to: MrBlaq

Trees figure prominently in legends all over the world, mostly because of what they meant to early man.

Food. Shelter. Forests were dark, mysterious, and held creatures both benign and dangerous. Fact and fiction mix easily under the shade cast by trees.

Numerous and Large. That's most trees. A Sequoia is large, sometimes ancient, and always magnificent...not very supernatural, though. I've seen old growth Ponderosa that challenge the largest of the Sequoias, and it's easy to understand where the mythology of trees of Life began, and how...

Doesn't make it reality though. The reality is rather impressive too, and needs no embellishment.

did you watch any of that forest video?
out of their #ing minds!!!!
apparently i also missed the nuclear conflict in the 19th century also discussed in the video

dare i watch the other video
lol

a reply to: username74

would anybody here like to explain how a tree works because after glancing through this thread i think i will.
trees take up liquid through suction. negative pressure. 1 atmosphere gets you 10 metres.
For water to be sucked up, there must be a pressure difference between the top and the bottom of the tree.
100metres is 10 atmospheres. the equivalent to being 339 feet under water.
height of seqioua 91 metres
how strong is your wood?

a reply to: MaxTamesSiva

its basalt for gods sake columnular.
you think there were 16 km high trees that turned to stone.
these people are on glue!

a reply to: khnum

watched the other video.
definitely glue, maybe ketomine, perhars barbituate

a reply to: username74
No debate here, I just find the video intriguing and I'm willing to try whatever they're smoking, sniffing or drinking to give me a different perspective, however crazy the idea might seem to others.

It'll probably end up as an episode in Ancient Aliens and I look forward to watching it.

a reply to: username74

That was going to be my next post...

That would be an incredible tree, wouldn't it??

a reply to: seagull

well a tree stump in fact, they neglected to mention who cut it down.
details must have been lost to that nuclear holocaust just before the industrial revolution.
does anyone still learn anything at school, or are we on education systems from the dark ages, with added sense of entitlement,
anybody know a good leech farmer? maybe nows the time to get into medicine

a reply to: MaxTamesSiva

try glue!
this video is beyond anything i have ever seen. and i have seen some stupid #!
i dont know if you can buy ignorance, glue is more obtainable
